 Like all of you, I also remember stores and people who have long ago disappeared from the Eastchester landscape. However, there is one memory from my early childhood that I hope someday to recapture. I think most of us have stories of ourselves or our children being very small, maybe four years old, often being the first ones up in the morning and it isn't unsual for a parent to wake up and find their toddler out in the backyard. (hopefully with some clothes on!) I have a very vivid memory of being a small child out in my backyard early on Saturday mornings. I remember that all I could hear at first was the occasional car passing by on Rt 22 or Wilmot Road which was the closest street to our first house which was on Nelson Road. Then, as time passed, I could heard a power lawn mower or two start up, neighbors got in their car to get the morning paper and maybe some rolls at the candy store and deli on Rt 22 at the top of Brook Street. Slowly the activity would increase and by the time nine or ten O'clock came around there were people washing cars, doing work around the house which usually took the form of hammering or sawing wood, people walking their dogs and chatting.... and even as a really small kid I used to love listening to the neighborhood come alive. I hope that someday, if I am able, to go back to Eastchester and walk the streets of north end on a Saturday beginning around 6 in the morning, and see if at least one memory from the past is still intact. If so, it is probably the closest I will ever come to actually going back in time.
